About the project
Council will design and construct a new ferry terminal as a priority to support the busy Howard Smith Wharves precinct, ensuring residents and visitors have easy access to this newly developed public space via Brisbane's world-class ferry network.
The new Howard Smith Wharves ferry terminal will also provide connectivity to the New Farm Riverwalk and surrounding suburbs such as Fortitude Valley and Kangaroo Point via the Story Bridge.
Council undertook river-based geotechnical investigations at the proposed ferry terminal location in April 2019.
Council and the Howard Smith Wharves Consortium have worked in collaboration throughout the year to finalise a location for the terminal that works with the precinct as a whole. The new terminal will be positioned adjacent to the Rivershed building.
The Howard Smith Wharves terminal will be funded by Council, with a contribution from the Howard Smith Wharves Consortium.
The Howard Smith Wharves ferry terminal is anticipated to initially service CityFerry services, enhancing Council's existing ferry network and access for residents and visitors to this new public space.
Project timing
Council lodged the development application for the project on Friday 13 December 2019, with construction anticipated to commence onsite in late 2020.
Council released the construction tender for the Howard Smith Wharves and South Bank ferry terminal projects in mid-February 2020.
Council is committed to keeping the community updated about the project. Further information about the terminal design and timing of construction will be provided as the project progresses.
